Celtic v St Mirren: title push meets survival fight | OneFootball

The Hoops average 66% possession and 87.14% passing accuracy this league season, supplying plenty from wide areas with 612 open-play crosses at 21.41% accuracy and 10 headed goals.

St Mirren average 45% possession and have scored 27 league goals, but carry an aerial edge with 11 headed goals and 508 crosses at 21.85%. Mikael Mandron features among the latest goal involvement leaders.

A win would take the Bhoys to 67 points and could close the gap on leaders Hearts and second-placed Rangers. St Mirren, 10th on 30 points, would move to 33 with victory and strengthen their cushion above the relegation places.
